Hi Job, thank you so much for your reply, I needed to hear from a friend.

I had pre written my post then copied it in to my thread to save internet data, this may have been the issue with my post.

Yes this has been an adventure, and I have learnt a lot about myself. I know that this is just a period in time and one day I will look back and say " geez, did I really live through that!"

Thank you for your thoughts re h and a different perspective, I value your opinions. I did think about what you said regarding him still feeling something when he contacted last year, I wondered why he was so bothered what I thought about him, that he didn't want to be seen as the bad guy anymore than he is, if he didn't care then he wouldn't have been bothered what I thought about s21 moving to him. But I dismissed it as me mind reading as that is a dangerous sport.

You are more expert in this area, if I decide to reach out, what form do you suggest it takes, to be honest I have many things I could say but know that they could all open up a can of worms so just remain quiet instead.

Any thoughts would be gratefully received while I figure out if I am ready to handle whatever happens as a consequence.

Love n Hugs xoxo
